In Lines and Formsart exhibition at Leila Heller’s Gallery, Samaha’s work unfolds like a visual conversation, where each piece begins with forms laid on a blank canvas, one naturally leading to the next. These interconnected forms, each carrying its own narrative, are tied together by guiding lines, helping viewers navigate the intricate stories across the canvas.

This ongoing series, which began in 2014, showcases Samaha's evolving exploration of form, line, and color. Her choice of medium is deliberate: watercolors bring lightness and transparency, while acrylics provide flatness and the ease of layering. As her practice has grown, so have her canvases, incorporating larger diptychs and triptychs that tell even more complex, interwoven stories.

Samaha is celebrated for her mastery of color and attention to detail, constantly pushing the boundaries of her artistic expression. Lines and Forms is more than an exhibition—it’s a tribute to the essence of painting, reflecting Samaha’s deep belief in the centrality of the act of painting to her creative journey. Viewers are invited to engage with the evolving dialogue between form, color, and expression, experiencing the ever-growing narrative of her work.
